2
3	At a yard sale, Brian accidentally sells Rupert, Stewie's teddy bear, to a man who moves to Aspen, and the duo are on the road again to get the toy back. Meanwhile, Peter loses his driver's license after his latest stupid stunt, and Meg is forced to drive him and his immature friends everywhere.
4
5	!!This episode contains examples of:
6
7	* AnimationBump: Due to the original sequence in ''Film/AnchorsAweigh'' having full animation, Stewie is animated much more elaborately than usual during the dance number (also because they needed to cover up [[WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry Jerry]], who dances with Gene Kelly in the actual film).
8	* ArtisticLicenseLaw: Joe says Peter committed rape against a driver because "she was a virgin whose hymen was busted by the airbag" during the car accident that Peter caused. Also, Joe hitting Peter just to get the license easily stands as assault, since Peter was not actually threatening Joe. Shows how much of a DirtyCop Joe is. Also, the fact that Joe does nothing to stop the guys from distracting Meg while driving, and even joined in. Had Meg killed someone, or caused an accident (which did happen), Joe easily could have gotten fired.
9	* BestialityIsDepraved: Stewie convinces Stanford to enter the skiing contest with Brian as the prize by telling him that if he puts peanut butter anywhere on his body, Brian will lick it off. ''Anywhere...''
10	* BreadEggsMilkSquick: Joe starts off with reckless driving, disturbing the peace, and then finishes with rape.
11	* ChekhovsGun: A literal example. The starting pistol Brian uses to begin the ski race is used by Stewie to steal a car that Brian can use to drive back to Quahog.
12	* ClusterFBomb: Stewie drops multiple f-bombs when he and Brian carjack a man at gunpoint at an intersection to get back to Quahog.
13	* EvilLaugh: Devil Stewie emits one.
14	* EyeScream: Crone the Butler throws hot tea into Timmy's eyes on Stewie's orders.
15	* FantasticRacism: Brian takes umbrage to Stewie's comment about him being sent to a shelter with unadoptable greyhounds, comparing it to the Holocaust for dogs.
16	* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Meg gives a brutal and graphic one to the driver who crashes into her.
17	* RageBreakingPoint:
18	** Joe comes to Peter's door to tell him that his driver's license is now revoked due to his recklessness with the car earlier. When Peter decides to poke fun at Joe by holding his driver's license out of the cop's reach as the latter attempts to grab it, Joe finally loses his patience, even raising his voice in a much angrier tone during the moment as he repeats his last sentence, and uses his baton to slug Peter in the gut to cause the latter to lose his grip and drop his license in Joe's hands.
19	---> '''Joe:''' You're startin' to piss me off... '''''[[SuddenlyShouting YOU'RE STARTIN' TO PISS ME OFF!!]]'''''
20	** After all the crap she had to put up with driving Peter around, Meg snaps when the driver mentioned above yells at her.
21	* TheMirrorShowsYourTrueSelf: Despite animating Stewie in place of Jerry for the Anchors Aweigh sequence, Stewie's reflection is still that of Jerry the Mouse.
22	* RogerRabbitEffect: Stewie dances with Gene Kelly in a sequence from ''Film/AnchorsAweigh''.
23	* ShoutOut:
24	** When Stewie and Brian's helicopter is about to crash, [[Film/PlanesTrainsAndAutomobiles Brian looks over and imagines Stewie as the devil.]]
25	** Rupert's would-be funeral echoes [[Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan Spock's actual one]].
26	** The intro to ''My Black Son'' reuses gags from the intros to various sitcoms, including ''Series/LaverneAndShirley'', ''Series/WhosTheBoss'', and ''Series/BosomBuddies''. Peter's co-star is also Emmanuel Lewis of ''Series/{{Webster}}'' fame.
27	* SoProudOfYou: After Meg delivers a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown on the driver, Peter constantly praises her.
28	* SubvertedRhymeEveryOccasion: Done by Peter in his theme to ''My Black Son''.
29	-->'''Peter''': My black son, my black son / Now everyday my heart is getting bigger / Don't even remember sleeping with that lady / But I did...
30	* TakeThat:
31	** In a DVD-exclusive scene, Lois badmouths a DVD called ''Stymie Gruffin: The Untold Story'' (a rip-off of the ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' DVD-exclusive movie "WesternAnimation/StewieGriffinTheUntoldStory"), deriding it as being "three episodes shown back-to-back" and that "FOX should be ashamed of themselves" (which gets cut off by two men in black suits dragging her away).
32	** Stanford's response to Stewie's offer of [[BestialityIsDepraved Brian licking peanut butter off his body]] is "Well, I did go to Choate...". In the DVD commentary, the writer who wrote that joke explains that the school he went to had a rivalry with Choate Rosemary Hall.
33	* WeirdCurrency: The helicopter can be rented for cash, check or a jaunty tune. [[JustifiedTrope The reasoning for that last one is that the rental agreement was drafted when musicals were still culturally relevant]].
34	* WouldHurtAChild: Crone has no problem throwing scalding hot tea at a child just because he was told to.
